aaah, so you are looking for a baby room.... ask what they will do if your baby cries, some will leave them for a while... you really want someone 2 go straight away, where do they keeop bottles and how do they know which childs bottles are which? (doubt you want him drinking a strangers breast milk) how will they warm the milk (NOT in a microwave-hot water)will they follow your home routine or try to make him fit into theirs? ( he is too young yet, they should follow yours) how often will they feed him (on demand-NOT every 4 hours) what safety do they take when changing nappies? ( gloves, plastic aprons-seperate for each nappy change and child+disinfect the changing mat)... hope all this helps... will post more if my brain starts working! lol

Telling us which 3 are you looking at might help us to help you. Some of us might have kids at them.
